Best betting tip

Delhi Capitals to score more than 48.5 in Powerplay

The Capitals has been known for their aggressive batting approach from the beginning of the innings in the past few seasons. Despite the absence of Shikhar Dhawan any longer, they showed the same intent against MI in the Powerplay overs. Prithvi Shaw and Tim Seifert have been known for scoring quick runs, and they will be aiming to produce a similar start as they had in their previous encounter.

Although the Titans had a dream start with the ball last time against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG), it is highly unlikely to be repeated.
